EDGE Analysis

Miller was charged with protecting a 3-2 lead in the ninth and promptly surrendered a one-out, game-tying homer to Dioner Navarro. The ill-timed gopher ball was the first given up by hard-throwing reliever since a July 22 outing against the Orioles, a span of 22 outings leading into Tuesday's contest. After the Yankees had taken a 6-4 lead in the top of the 10th, Miller then gave up a 404-foot shot to Edwin Encarnacion to make things interesting in the home half of the inning. Despite the mistakes, Miller was able to avoid further damage and preserve the extra-inning victory. The four whiffs by the veteran reliever in Tuesday's appearance also give him a remarkable 23 in just 11 September innings.
